One day after being completely dominated by Clayton Kershaw, the Milwaukee Brewers’ offense took out its frustrations on the Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitching staff.

Sparked by a season-high five home runs and nine extra-base hits in all, the Brewers pummeled the National League Central Division-leading Pirates, 10-4, at Miller Park on Monday night.

Jean Segura, Yovani Gallardo, Norichika Aoki, Carlos Gomez and Yuniesky Betancourt all homered for Milwaukee, which scored five times in the opening inning against Pittsburgh starter Wandy Rodriguez and never looked back.

Gallardo and Aoki went back to back in the fourth inning and Gomez and Betancourt went back to back in the fifth inning. The Brewers reached double figures in runs in the seventh, when Gomez tripled and Betancourt drove him in to make it 10-2.

Gallardo and Alfredo Figaro set down 15 consecutive Pirates batters until Andrew McCutchen singled and Garrett Jones homered with two outs in the eighth inning off Figaro to make it 10-4.

Gallardo pitched a season-high seven innings in improving to 3-1. He allowed three hits, two runs (one earned) and two walks while striking out five.
